In our technique-focused sessions we explore traditional forms from different schools of martial arts included in Bujinkan, and their applications. Free-form practice - or sparring and randori - is not emphasised and competition is not part of the style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">We practice among other things:<br><em>Jutai jutsu<\/em> - Locks, throws and strangles<br><em>Daken taijutsu<\/em> - Striking and kicking techniques<br><em>Mutodori jutsu<\/em> - Unarmed techniques against armed opponents<br><em>Ken jutsu<\/em> - Sword techniques<br><em>Bo jutsu<\/em> - Staff techniques<br><em>Naginata jutsu<\/em> - Japanese polearm techniques<br><em>So jutsu<\/em> - Japanese spear techniques<br><em>Shuriken jutsu<\/em> - Traditional japanese throwing weapons, especially the straight, nail-like <em>bo shuriken<\/em> techniques<br><em>Kusari Kama \/ Kyoketsu Shoge jutsu<\/em> - Chained and roped weapon techniques<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Bujinkan emphasizes the use of <em>taijutsu<\/em>, in other words the proper and correct use of the body. When done properly and accurately, the practice movements support each other and teach how you can move in an ergonomic and efficient fashion. <em>Kata<\/em>s, i.e. traditional movement sets were developed during a time of constant warfare in Japan and are designed to cause injury. Due to this we practice in a slow and steady fashion and pay special attention to practicing falling and receiving strikes safely.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harjoittelemme japanilaista taistelulajia Bujinkan Budo Taijutsua, joka pohjautuu vanhoihin sotataitoihin.
